How to make a die cut candy dish

I am in love with making things on pedestals (do you remember my candy corn lights?) Well, today I made a candy dish with some die cut and embossed paper, a recycled container lid and a candle stick.

The Crafter’s Companion Sheena Festive Greetings and Winter scene stamps and dies were the perfect set to make the border edge of my pedestal candy dish.

First I stamped and embossed the image of trees twice on a pretty piece of the Crafter’s Companion pink cardstock and then die cut them out.

One I glued onto the recycled plastic lid with the embossed image facing out.

The second one I glued onto the lid facing in so it would have a layered dimensional look.

For a finishing touch I die cut a pretty strip of white paper using one of the Die’sire “Beautiful Borders” border dies.

Then I hot glued the lid onto a pretty candle stick and filled it with candy.

I also made little party favor bags of candy made out of tulle and a tag die cut out of pink glitter paper and stamped with the sentiment from the Festive Greetings Set.

I plan on trying this technique with lots of my dies and stamps as I have an endles supply of recycled lids and candle sticks!
